How did a football star manage to snag a date with one of the most popular singers in the world? It sure wasn’t thanks to a friendship bracelet. From VIP seats to missing family high fives, here’s everything you need to know about Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift’s relationship.
Before Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift had anything romantic, the Chiefs player already had his sights set on the singer. During an episode of his New Heights podcast, he admitted that he was smitten with the star after attending her Eras tour stop at Arrowhead Stadium in July of 2023.
He said he wanted to give Swift a bracelet with his number on it, but admitted that he wasn’t able to meet Swift backstage as he originally hoped, saying on the podcast, “I was disappointed because she doesn’t talk to anyone before or after her shows
Because she has to save her voice for the 44 songs that she sings, so I was a little butthurt I didn’t get to hand her one of the bracelets I made for her.” Despite the setback, Kelce admitted, “It was an unbelievable show. I’ve only seen Arrowhead filled like that for a
Chiefs game with that much excitement. […] It was wild. It was a wild show.” Fans have jokingly attributed Swift’s apprehension to her being a Philadelphia Eagles fan, which she has previously admitted. She cleared up the debate at her Philadelphia
Eras tour stop in a video posted by the NFL, in which she admitted she roots for the NFL team. The media frenzy regarding Swift and Kelce only escalated after the two were reported to be spending time together in September of 2023. An insider told The Messenger at the time,
“Taylor and Travis have been quietly hanging out. She saw him when she was in NYC a few weeks ago.” But at the time, the two seemed to just be getting to know each other. A source told Entertainment Tonight that same day that the pair were not officially dating.
Another source told E! News around the same time that the two had met up once but had been keeping things casual due to their busy schedules. But as Swifties would soon learn, that would change — and they continued to spark dating rumors in the weeks to come.
No one was more surprised than Swifties when Swift was seen cheering on the Kansas City Chiefs in VIP seats in September 2023. While most of the time we’re accustomed to seeing the star in bejeweled bodysuits rocking sold-out stadiums, Swift switched
Up her attire for a more casual look when she was spotted rooting for Travis Kelce when the Chiefs took on the Chicago Bears. The news of Swift made waves across the Internet, especially because she was seated next to Kelce’s mother, Donna, and later seen walking out with
Kelce. But what fans may not know is that it was the football star himself who reached out to the singer to sway her into those fancy box seats. The tight end admitted on The Pat
McAfee Show that he had got in touch with Swift earlier to see if she could make it to the game. “I threw the ball in her court, you know. I told her, ‘Maybe I’ve seen you rock the stage at Arrowhead, you might have to come see me rock the stage in Arrowhead.”
Just days after the episode aired, Swift debuted at the stadium — this time as a spectator and not the headliner. After the Chiefs took home the win, Swift and Kelce were seen leaving together. Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s relationship is anything but traditional, especially with
Her being a mega-star on the stage and him on the field. That being said, non-celebrity relationship norms pretty much don’t apply. Shortly after Kelce and Swift started to see each other casually, Swift was already seen cozying up to the football star’s mother, Donna, in the VIP section.
But according to the Daily Mail, Swift actually met Kelce’s family members and friends at the NFL player’s house before the game between the Chiefs and the Bears. The outlet reported that Swift was seen leaving Kelce’s million-dollar Kansas City mansion to board a party bus with the player’s entourage to Arrowhead Stadium.
Swift was spotted arriving at the tight end’s house after boarding a private jet to Kansas City and stayed about an hour before heading to the game. An insider told the Daily Mail, “Travis wasn’t at his house, but it was filled with his friends and
Family. He has a personal chef and several friends from high school and college who use his place as a crash pad whenever they are in town.” After the game, a source spotted the pair reportedly holding hands at a rooftop restaurant, with Swift later seen sitting on Kelce’s lap.
Despite the inquiring minds that so desperately want to know about the pair’s whirlwind romance, the football player is remaining tight-lipped about their relationship. Shortly after Swift showed up to cheer on Kelce for the first time at Arrowhead Stadium, the NFL star
Addressed the intense media scrutiny on another episode of his New Heights podcast, saying, “I know I brought all this attention to me, right?” “I did the whole friendship bracelet thing and told everyone how butthurt I was that I didn’t get to meet Taylor.”
The Chiefs player admitted that he has no regrets over how their meeting went down but wants to keep his private life private. “You know, it is my personal life, and I want to respect both of our lives.” Despite the intense media coverage that comes with dating one of the world’s biggest stars,
Kelce revealed that he has been enjoying the ride, adding, “I’m on the roller coaster, the roller coaster of life.” “Yeah, I noticed a few things, like paparazzi outside my house.” Despite not giving too much away about their connection, the NFL player did praise the singer for getting out of her comfort zone.
“Shout-out to Taylor for pulling up. That was pretty ballsy, that was pretty ballsy, yeah.” Every Swiftie knows that no one messes with Taylor Swift’s girl squad. So, fans took it pretty seriously when the singer showed up to cheer on her beau alongside members of her exclusive girl gang.
A week after she was seen seated next to Donna Kelce in the VIP section, Swift was seen cheering on the Chiefs alongside her best friend, Blake Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, and her newfound friend Brittany Mahomes, who is married to the Chiefs quarterback and rumored to be the newest squad member. The
Singer also brought along Sophie Turner, Hugh Jackman, and Sabrina Carpenter. It seems the Swift squad has given their stamp of approval, despite media speculation that the opposite was true. Swift’s bestie, Gigi Hadid, recently spoke out about Kelce and Swift’s
Relationship amidst rumors suggesting she thought the artist had been moving too quickly with the NFL star. The model commented on an Instagram post promoting a Perez Hilton article, writing: “I’m a couple days late to this tag, but didn’t the press try this
Last week with Selena? Let it be. We are all over the moon for our girl. Period.” Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift took their relationship to the next level when the two made a surprise appearance together on Saturday Night Live. Swift introduced
Her friend and musical guest Ice Spice on the show, while the football player had a brief cameo in a skit that poked fun at his and Swift’s buzzing relationship. “We are going to speak with someone who actually wants to talk about football.” “Yes, please!”
The two were later spotted leaving the SNL afterparty, but not before video surfaced of the NFL player walking past Swift’s security. Some fans thought Kelce had pushed the man out of the way, which he later denied on his New Heights podcast, saying,
“I didn’t push him. I placed my hand on the gentleman’s back to let him know I was behind him. If I would’ve pushed him, he probably would’ve turned around and tased me.” The romance seemed to have heated up at that point, however, especially since the
Chiefs player admitted he felt the need to protect Swift. He went on, “I feel like whenever I’m on a date, I’m always having the sense of like I’m a man in the situation. I’m, like, protective, yeah, for sure. You always kind of have that feeling or that self-awareness, I guess.”
Before one of Taylor Swift’s tour stops in Argentina, Travis Kelce was introduced to the singer’s father, Scott Swift. The trio were spotted dining at a steakhouse together on the Friday before the show, with Kelce and Swift leaving the restaurant hand-in-hand.
Kelce opened up about the meeting on the 64th episode of his New Heights podcast, saying that he had to do a bit of convincing since Swift’s father is a hardcore Philadelphia Eagles fan. “I might have persuaded him at dinner the night before when I met him.”
He added that Scott is, quote, “a big football guy” and played in college, and then joked about turning him into a Chiefs fan. “Got him over to the good side, baby.” Kelce said that plenty of empanadas and steak were eaten during his and Swift’s time together as they
Enjoyed a trip south of the equator. The Chiefs player also prided Swift on keeping it low-key by staying in the hotel when the Saturday night show was postponed due to inclement weather. “We didn’t want to just go have a blast throughout the city like we didn’t care about the show.”
Could Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift be the “New Romantics?” It certainly seems that way, especially since the star gave Kelce a special shout-out during an Argentina tour stop in November 2023. A video of Swift singing her track “Karma” made the rounds on social media in which
The star changed the original lyric, “Karma is the guy on the screen / Coming straight home to me,” to, “Karma is the guy on the Chiefs / Coming straight home to me.” Cameras panned to Kelce to see his overjoyed reaction while hearing the change-up alongside Swift’s father.
“Definitely when I heard it come out of her mouth, still shocked me.” He also apologized to Scott, who had attempted to high-five Kelce in the moment, which he had failed to notice amidst the commotion.
